Indianapolis - On Thursday, January 24th, at 8:45 AM the Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee will hear testimony from opponents and proponents of the "Marrriage Discrimination Amendment" - Senate Joint Resolution 7 (SJR-7). The hearing is expected to take place in the Senate Chambers the Indiana Statehouse.

Passage of SJR-7 by this committee will keep this harmful legislation in play and set the stage for a possible ballot initiative this year. If approved by the electorate, SJR-7 will forever write discrimination into the Indiana Constitution, affecting thousands of Hoosier families.

Indiana Equality is asking individuals tell members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Marriage Discrimination Amendment is wrong for Indiana. IE describes the amendment as "just an attempt to distract Hoosiers from the greater issues at hand, such as fixing the broken property tax system."

The judiciary committee can be contacted using the link below to access IE's automated system.
